DIY room spray

There’s something magical about stepping into a space that smells amazing. A well-chosen scent can instantly transform the mood of a room—inviting relaxation, sparking creativity, or making your home feel warm and welcoming. But store-bought sprays often come with artificial fragrances and unnecessary chemicals. Why not create your own?

Making a natural, DIY room spray is not only easy but allows you to customize a scent that truly feels like you. Whether you love fresh citrus, calming florals, or grounding earthy notes, this simple guide will help you craft a signature blend for your space.

What You’ll Need:

• A 4 oz glass spray bottle (preferably amber or cobalt to protect the essential oils)

• ½ cup distilled water (helps prevent bacteria growth)

• 1 tablespoon witch hazel or vodka (acts as a preservative and helps disperse the oils)

• 15-25 drops of essential oils (customizable—see blend ideas below)

• Optional: Dried herbs, citrus peels, or flower petals (for an extra infusion of scent)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Choose Your Essential Oil Blend

   • Think about the atmosphere you want to create. Do you want a calming bedroom spray? An energizing scent for your workspace? A cozy scent for your living room?

2. Mix the Ingredients

   • Pour distilled water and witch hazel (or vodka) into your spray bottle using a small funnel.

   • Add 15-25 drops of essential oils, adjusting the intensity to your preference.

   • Shake well to combine.

3. Test and Adjust

   • Spritz the air and see how the scent develops. If you want it stronger, add a few more drops of essential oil.

4. Let It Settle

   • Allow the blend to sit for 24 hours so the oils fully meld with the liquid.

5. Use & Enjoy!

   • Shake before each use and mist around your home, on linens, or even as a light body spray (if skin-safe oils are used).
